UNSPSC 50486869: Yuca purees

The type of vegetable known as yuca which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486869 Yuca purees is a Commodity code that captures prepared vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show limited direct activity. The scope of work that does appear involves fresh, frozen, and processed produce items supplied to state and local institutional kitchens—primarily state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. However, the recent opportunities block includes no solicitation explicitly naming yuca purees or root vegetable purees as a line item; instead, the code appears tagged on broad food procurement RFPs that encompass mixed produce categories, canned vegetables, and prepared foods where yuca purees may be one of many optional items or approved equivalents rather than a primary requirement. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, all soliciting through formal competitive bids (IFB, IWQ, RFP formats). The mix reflects institutional food service procurement rather than retail or manufacturing input demand.

The most recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Oct 23, 2026 response deadline) for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (Oct 19, 2026 response deadline) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including panned butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB (Jun 19, 2026 response deadline) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (Jun 15, 2026 response deadline) spanning multiple food categories with the Buy American Act requirement that products contain over 51 percent domestically grown agricultural components. The code shows activity but no dominant buyer or geographic cluster—work spreads across state agencies, local government departments, and school systems with individual procurement volumes ranging from hundreds to thousands of cases annually.
